Social workers work within the thresholds for intervention set out for them.
Furthermore, it is far from clear that Iraq would have satisfied all or indeed any of the five criteria for intervention set out in Chicago.
Recognizing that not all ICU patients will respond the same to aggressive nutritional interventions, we set out to develop and conduct some preliminary validation work on a score that helps practitioners discriminate who might benefit the most (or least) from nutritional therapy.
The key assumption we have to make is that without the intervention we set out to quantify, the pre-intervention trend would continue unchanged into the post-intervention period and there are no external factors systematically affecting the trends (that is, other "interventions").
Having the support of a major Dutch insurance company increases the chances of the intervention being set out to other primary health care groups.
According to the profile of intervention costs set out by GMAP, there are four components to anti-malaria expenditure: prevention, case management (diagnosis and treatment), program costs (such as monitoring and evaluation, training, and infrastructure), and research and development expenses.
Value for money: We expect analysis of the value of proposed interventions to be set out, with comparison to potential benefits and costs of alternatives approaches.
In a commentary on our work, Merkley, Matejko, and Ansari argue that our methodology limits the interpretation of our results, primarily because our experiments did not meet the criteria for an intervention study as set out by What Works Clearinghouse and others.
To investigate which items in the tool might require adaptation, the differences between randomized clinical trials and animal intervention studies were set out (Table 1).
Recognising the risk that a paper-based format might be a relatively passive means of delivering the intervention components, we set out to maximise the interactive nature of each section, e.g. by incorporating questions and prompts so that participants had to make active choices when working through it.
